What
a
fantastic
package!
This
25th
anniversary
double
disc
DVD
release
of
the
classic
naughty
&
decadent
pseudo-Frankenstein
musical
with
transvestite
sci-fi
overtones
containing
a
wealth
of
extras
to
make
the
Rocky
Horror
experience
one
of
complete
and
utter,
full
bodied
pleasure.
From
a
tiny
play
to
a
timeless
cinematic
cult
classic,
every
single
person
involved
contributed
to
its
irresistibly
sumptuous
appeal.
But
none
more
so
than
the
songs
and
story
by
creator
O'Brien
and
impeccable
character
performance
by
Curry
as
the
flamboyant
Dr.
Frank-N-Furter.
For
those
still
unaware
of
this
fabulous
experience,
the
film
takes
us
on
a
"nightmare"
evening
ride
with
a
nerdy,
innocent
and
inexperienced
engaged
couple,
Brad
&
Janet.
They
end
up
with
a
flat
tyre
on
a
rainy
night
-
fate
bringing
them
to
the
doorstep
of
Dr.
Frank-N-Furter's
castle,
where
he's
about
to
create
a
perfect
hunk
for
himself
with
the
help
of
his
creepy
sidekicks
-
resulting
in
the
corruption
of
the
couple
and
their
conservative
views
on
life,
sex
and
everything
else.
The
DVD
interactive
menus
are
wonderfully
crafted,
maintaining
the
humour
and
saucy
nature
of
the
film
itself.
The
in-depth
delving
into
the
Rocky
Horror
universe
comes
in
many
shapes.
Part
of
the
Rocky
Horror
experience
is
to
get
into
the
cinematic
participation
mood.
This
disc
makes
it
possible
like
never
before.
Besides
the
glossy
booklet
with
a
detailed
prop
list
and
other
tit-bits,
the
disc
has
a
Theatrical
Experience
mode
whereby
the
RHPS
fan
club
president
Sal
Piro
introduces
the
show
and
audience
reactions
&
front
of
screen
performers
pop
up
in
front
of
the
screen
as
they
would
if
you
attended
a
true
Rocky
Horror
midnight
fan
screening.
Then
there
is
the
Partcipation
Prompter
indicating
when
you
should
do
what
(from
the
newspaper
rain
sequence
to
the
rubber
glove
snap).
There's
no
way
you'll
only
watch
this
once,
so
the
commentary
track
option
by
Richard
O'Brien
&
Patricia
Quinn
will
aggrandize
the
depth
of
the
film
with
revealing
comments,
fond
memories,
keen
observations
and
interesting
anecdotes.
The
second
disc
contains
a
deleted
scene,
11
minutes
of
outtakes
and
alternate
credit
ending.
There
is
a
37
minute
documentary
and
several
VH-1
inserts,
including
interviews
with
Meatloaf,
Sarandon
and
O'Brien,
while
the
latter
also
re-visits
the
castle,
chatting
about
the
experience
and
doing
on
the
spot
acoustic
versions
of
some
of
the
classic
tunes
from
the
show.
A
Pop-Up
Video
of
Hot
Patootie
with
Meatloaf
adds
to
the
festivities
while
Sing-A-Long
versions
of
Sweet
Transvestite
and
Touch-a
Touch-a
Touch
Me
is
sure
to
become
a
party
favourite
(as
if
you
don't
know
the
words
by
heart
already!).
With
its
full
original
widescreen
presentation
undoubtedly
the
only
way
to
view
this
ball
of
a
movie,
its
gorgeous
gatefold
packaging
and
quality
is
as
irresistible
as
the
contents
within.
Like
I
said,
"What
a
fantastic
package!"
